I may have fouled the  plugs now with all the cranking.

maybe cas has been broken somehow.

you can remove it and turn it by hand....you should hear the injectors squirting fuel. And yes you may have fouled the plugs with all that cranking

I'm not quite ready to fire bomb it. not sure where the coild packs earth but will check it out tonight.

the final (rear) bolt (12mm) that secures the alloy coil pack frames should have an earth eyelet under it.

Did putting spark plugs in it make any difference? :rofl:

Sorry Adam, we always leave them out so it can be cranked easily to bring up oil pressure. I just bolted the coils back in so they wouldn't get damaged in freight (maybe that was a lucky thing).

I'll fix you up for the plugs, we always throw them out when we do an engine, we've had too many problems with people reusing the old plugs and having a miss or hard starting problem.

It runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111111111

You'd never guess but the engine builder didn't put my spark plugs back in and I just assumed he had. I did notice that it was cranking fairly easily.

Put some new plugs in last night, a little bit of stuffing around and away she went.

I don't have a video recorder but I was laughing hysterically when I pulled out the first coil pack expecting to find a fouled plug but instead found no plug.

hahaha. Just a little difference!

Oil pressure was good obviously.

I probably would have thrown the plugs out myself except for the fact that they were iridiums with about 2000k's on them.

lol no sparks! :)

Sweet Adam....christmas run-in's are great....i took "twoogle" up to the Gold Coast for Xmas/New Year two years ago for its run-in.....its engine is two years older than yours almost to the day.

:):):D That one of the funniest thing i have read in ages, how we over look the simple things sometimes. Well all the best with the run in as i'm doing the same, up to 370kms now and everything looks sweet.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
